You give them both too much credit.
The nearest thing we have in COLA to the manipulators on the Canopus
forums is Fuddie, and by all accounts he was probably one of them.
Fuddie's protégé Smith comes a close second, with his web of leading
half-truths and faux obtuseness.

And this from flatty Goldfarb:

A reliable source told me that these people are being watched and
documented as they dig their own graves. The time will come, and it's
not far away, when they will be asked to substantiate each and every one
of their claims against these companies that they seem to hate so much.

And this, also from flatty (using yet another pseudonym):

I have filed an abuse report with X-Complaints-To:
use...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I have also emailed
pg-admissi...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx advising them of one of their students
not only abusing usenet for his own personal gain but also using
University resources to do the same.
I come to comp.os.linux.advocacy to read about people debating Linux vs
other operating system not to read news that I can find in other
locations. Hopefully this will put an end to the spamming and that is
exactly what it is spamming.These messages get little or no replies and
thus are one sided.
I plan to take this all the way to the top of said University should I
have to.

I'm still rather at a loss as to what this illusive "personal gain" is
supposed to be. Who would pay Roy to aggregate news articles, I wonder?
Presumably Manchester University were as unconcerned about Roy's use of
University resources to do such a thing, as the rest of us. ;)

The truth that the gangsters and their shills so desperately try to bury
remains immutably preserved, unluckily for them:

Is this sufficient "substantiation" for brainwashed Microsoft fanboys
like Flatty and his cohorts, I wonder?
